Just found this on another website, it almost makes you want to cry!

"
...just read that the Aussies have stopped all fresh Asylum applications, effective from today. This they say, is to put the people smugglers out of work...and they will review it in a few months...

...on our side of the planet, we raid a gypsy village in Romania that has at least 168 kids smuggled into the UK for begging and criminal purposes and some of the children aged between 7 and 15 have been maimed to appeal to people when begging...the last time this Romanian village was in the news was when it was found to be the headquarters of a criminal gang robbing us of millions in benefits...

...we're going to review it in a few months but in the mean time we will leave 27 met police officers in the village.

..on a more serious note, we like to help developing countries, but shouldn't it be country's that are less developed than ours? We gave 127 Million pounds to China in AID!...it's the third largest economy on the planet and we gave it 127 Million...

...They spent 20 billion on staging the f'ing Olympics."

A bit random, but this is worth reading.

Is that figure accurate?

There is one easy way to start paying back some of our debts.

When I'm in charge.....

Really? You'd think someone would write a story about that and post it on the internet. Strangely silent, although there is a story about Australia suspending asylum claims from Afghanistan and Sri Lanka due to changed circumstances in those two countries.

Why the fuss over 127 Million. It is peanuts.

We get lots back in return for that, maybe add at least a naught on.

Why? It isn't really aid. It is done the world over for trade.

and in the meantime 1000s of people in the UK can't get to see a Doctor, Dentist, Get on a Hospital waiting list.
Out Roads are fked
Our economy is in the toilet and yet we give away millions to richer countries as "Aid"

If its not aid then at least call it what it is

A Bribe!

Yes, a bribe.

Our roads are indeed fked, however this is how international trade works.

127 Million is worth it, as we get more back.

What should be cut back is the "aid" to India, as we don't quite get back as much.

No we don't.

But to enable us to get the contracts to work on the technologies and defence contracts, there is "aid" given.

It more than pays for itself with China.

Sorry I thought we were discussing China.

It also works with India, although the figures we give to India I don't personally see as that useful. However with India moving more into a position similar to China it wouldn't be too far off.

I do think India get a good ride with being one of our former stomping grounds, a lot more than they deserve.

Ermm but Australia have not stopped all fresh Asylum applications. They have suspended all new asylum claims by people from Sri Lanka and Afghanistan because they feel circumstances have changed in those two countries. Sri Lanka no longer has a civil war and Afghanistan I guess they think is a bit more stable than it has been.

Seems like a very sensible decision.
